Enough with the Christmas lights already! (Page 2)

maria40nc - 2010-07-01 9:10 AM Ok.. this is an old thread, but I just had to update it because.....

It's July 1 and those lights are STILL ON!

There is a red strand and a multicolor strand (the white strand died), and one blue candle in a window (there used to be two).  I think they are leaving them on until they all die out on their own.

I have not used this run route in two months.  I ran in utter anticipation of whether those lights would still be on.  It took me over an hour to get there. It had become a game week after week to see if those lights were still on, but since it's been a couple of months, I wasn't sure what to expect this time.

It made my day to see those lights still lit up in all their haphazard glory...

Red, white and blue. They were probably taken down when you weren't going by and now they are back up for the 4th of July.

There is a trailer we drive by that is always well decorated for Christmas and their lights stay on year round. The inflatable Santa and snowman in the yard are still out but they don't inflate them. My wife brought this up at a dinner party one night and one of the older ladies explain, " It's OK it's a southern thing"?
